Adult Hematology & Bone Marrow Transplantation

Comprehensive Hematology, Stem-Cell Transplant & Cellular Therapy.

Advanced autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplants and lifelong care—provided by an integrated team

Our service offers comprehensive hematology and cellular therapy care, including autologous and allogeneic stem-cell transplants (matched sibling, matched unrelated, haploidentical, and cord-blood), leukapheresis, cryopreservation, and long-term survivorship clinics. Weekly Hemato-Oncology Board and Cellular-Therapy Committee meetings ensure that treatment plans are based on the latest evidence and tailored to each patient’s needs.
